Evan's 4th Birthday and Party

Our sweet little Evan the Ewok is FOUR! We loved celebrating his birthday- and he LOVED it too! He was so excited for his birthday to come... he asked daily when it would be so we did a countdown! It is so fun to see how special a birthday is to a kid!!

When Evan is excited about something, he does not sleep in!! He always gets up super excited and early! We were not surprised to see him around 6:45 am (which is very early for him on average!). And, his request, we started with a very special treat including breakfast in bed (our bed!) with cartoons! LJ woke up in time to join him too! 

And after everyone was awake, we headed into the dining room to show him all the gifts we had set up in there! He was SO excited and surprised to find them there! 


A water table from Queenie and Grandad! 

More gifts from Q & G... two shields and swords! 
LJ was a very good helper! 

A quick opening break to test some toys out!!! 
Cool new umbrella! 
Opening his gift from us... 
Our gift to him was tickets to the Round Rock Express game next weekend and the promise of a new jersey! 


Gifts from Capi and Gigi! 


Cool bike helmet to go with his early present from Gigi and Capi- his bike!!! 



We had just a short time to play before heading out to his birthday party!! 


Evan wanted his party to be at Chuck E. Cheese again this year! It was easy and convenient so Chuck E. Cheese it was! 
Kids got right to playing when we got there! They love this place and have been enough times now that they know the whole drill! 


Dancing with Chuck E.








Pizza time! 
His requested baseball cupcakes! 

Evan wanted his party here last year but was very afraid of Chuck E. 
But he told me this year he was going to be very brave and even hug Chuck E! And... He did it! He went right up to Chuck E, talked to him, danced with him, hugged him, and took a good picture with him! Way to go Evan! 



Time to sing and blow out his candle! 
LOVE this picture and this sweet little face! 
Chucky and Evan!!! 

Enjoying their cupcakes!!! 
Evan was still too afraid to do the ticket blaster this year, so LJ stepped up again and did it for him! LJ is pretty good at collecting tickets as they blow all around him in this tube! 


These two precious kids- our 'huggers'!! 


And finally- a quick shot of all Evan's friends in the Chucky-sign (and even a few dads!):

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress... Ellie's first little mini-crawls: h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch? v=xm3GTgjZXbU And she has mastered the roll-to-sit move! Yay! http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=0cmXfOE3GrA Five days of crawling... she is so obsessed with the t...

Mother's Day Celebrations

Image
What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
